Chapter 69 - Dont Force Me To Draw My Sword! (1/2)
Initially, Li Changshou was not used to s.h.i.+fting his consciousness onto the paper effigy.
It was the kind of feeling… where he felt very fragile, light, weak, helpless, vulnerable, and insecure…
However, he was able to get used to it after a while.
After leaving the town, Li Changshou was certain that someone was tailing him. Pretending not to know, he rode a cloud towards the place he had reserved.
Due to the fact that there was an Anti-Five-Element Array formation around Linhai Town, he could not use any escape technique. Therefore, he had to pull some distance away before he could use Earth Escape.
Two of the strange men who had been following him had already rushed up to the spot in front of him and set up some array formations and traps in the forest.
I must have been targeted by those people when I took out the superior-grade Spirit Stones.
Li Changshou thought to himself and felt helpless.
Spirit Stones were considered hard currency in the East Continent and the Central Deity Continent because they had the most uses. Moreover, the Qi cultivators needed them and the production was stable.
However, superior-grade Spirit Stones were usually produced in the core of the spirit meridian. They were rare and precious, and their value was much higher than ordinary Spirit Stones.
The 300-feet dense forest in front should be where they’re attacking.
He had just left the boundary of the Anti-Five-Element Array, which was where he could use the Earth Escape…
They had obviously planned this meticulously.
The combat ability of the paper effigy was debatable, and its defense was definitely inferior. It was only as strong as a cultivator who was at the Void Return Stage.
However, he had instilled his immortal power into it. He could directly cast powerful Dharma spells…
The place was quite close to the town Although it was remote, the strong Primordial Energy fluctuations would definitely attract the attention of many Qi cultivators.
Furthermore, the paper effigy had expended too much immortal power and was p.r.o.ne to being unable to go home because he was deprived.
The paper effigy had a third of his a.s.sets.
Even though he had paper effigy No. 2 and No. 3 as backups, it was best not to lose anything…
He had to end the battle quickly and not let the other party touch him!
The closer he got to the traps set up by the other party, the more he felt that they were looking at him.
He did not feel alarmed because his main body wasn’t there.
Li Changshou looked at the diamond-shaped gemstone hanging on his waist, which was the second product of his refinement that he was satisfied with. It was the Sensing Stone.
The first product that he was satisfied with was the Soul-Bewitching Pearl.
In the past six years, apart from adding restrictions like ‘Mind Entrust’ and ‘Stable Immortality’ to the paper effigies, he had also created that pearl.
The gem was purple-red in color, which meant that three immortal senses and spiritual senses were locked onto him.
In the forest in front, the two figures hiding behind the trees were keeping their guards up.
There was another person hiding behind the clouds in the sky. He seemed to be pa.s.sing by, but he maintained the same speed and was going in the same direction as Li Changshou…
So brazen?
The town was indeed chaotic. There were many itinerant cultivators and there were no rules outside the town.
He was still a thousand feet away from the enemy’s trap…
500 feet…
100 feet…
Li Changshou suddenly realized something and mumbled, “I forgot to buy something.”
He then turned around and was about to leave the town.
Suddenly, a ray of light fell from above. Two figures appeared from behind and in front of him respectively. They rushed towards Li Changshou, and the light from the treasure in their hands flickered!
The corners of Li Changshou’s lips twitched slightly. However, he immediately acted as his expression changed drastically as he plunged into the forest.
“You! Who are you!”
It was a close call. A three-feet-long square seal landed right in front of him!
The wind blew, causing Li Changshou’s long hair to dance wildly!
As soon as he landed, five figures rushed towards him from behind.
Li Changshou took two steps back and gripped the hilt of his sword with his right hand.
He shouted, “Wait! We can talk!”
The five of them did not stop at all. The two of them used their techniques and threw treasures at Li Changshou.
Li Changshou’s eyes widened. He pulled the sword on his back out by three inches. Wisps of colorless powder were activated by his immortal power and floated towards the five of them.
With exquisite footwork, he dodged the incoming Dharma treasures, Dharma spells, and talismans, looking rather pathetic.
The a.s.sa.s.sin with the highest cultivation level in the sky opened his left palm and aimed it at Li Changshou.
A mysterious wave appeared around Li Changshou, and his movements slowed down.
The treasure seal was smashed downwards once again!
The aura around Li Changshou’s body trembled. He revealed his Essence Immortal cultivation level and forcefully pushed away the ripples around him. Once again, he avoided the seal by a close shave!
There was anger in his eyes. He growled, “Don’t force me to attack with the sword!”
In the air, the middle-aged Daoist, whose cultivation level was at the early-stage of Perfected Immortal Realm, laughed coldly. He put away the seal before throwing it at Li Changshou’s forehead again.
The four of them used their Dharma spells and divine powers again to seal the corner that Li Changshou was retreating towards…
In the Primordial world, smas.h.i.+ng someone else with a brick was a form of a.s.sault that had prevailed for a long time.
All of a sudden, the Dao Requital cultivator who had the weakest cultivation level among them, shouted in a trembling voice, “Little…”
The few of them looked over and at the same time, their vision became blurry.
The Perfected Immortal who was in the air turned pale. Just as he was about to turn around and fly away, he staggered and fell from the sky!
The four people on the ground fell even faster, and they instantly lied on the ground in the forest.
Li Changshou waved his left hand, and the Sky Treasure Umbrella rose in the sky, forming an isolation array formation.
Li Changshou, who had been grabbing the hilt of his sword, stopped in his tracks. He suddenly rushed forward and finally pulled out his long… sword?
It was not a sword!
Half of the sword was at the bottom of the hilt. The sword blade had no edge, but the tip of the sword was made of seven Dharma treasure ropes!
Li Changshou swung the strange sword, and the rope on it instantly lengthened. It was like Qi Yuan’s whisk. In the blink of an eye, he had tied up the Perfected Immortal who had yet to land on the ground!
Li Changshou casually pulled the rope and the five figures instantly gathered in front of him!
At the same time, three paper effigies jumped out from Li Changshou’s sleeve. Before they landed on the ground, they turned into three sullen-faced old Daoists.
Paper Effigy No. 1 took out a Demon-Suppressing Wooden Fish while Paper Effigy No. 2 held onto a Soul-Conquering Golden Bell and took out two cans of Immortal-Incinerating Powder. Paper Effigy No. 3 acted like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey…
They landed in front of Li Changshou and Paper Effigy No. 2 immediately sprinkled the Immortal-Burning Powder. Paper Effigy No. 3 took away their storage Dharma treasures.
A few b.a.l.l.s of True Samadhi Flames darted out of Li Changshou’s palm and reached between the five of them.
The flames instantly expanded…
The wooden fish sounded, the bell rang, and the chant sounded.
